Texas TABC Performance Wine and Beer Retailer's Permit (BG) Bond
Overview
Texas wine and beer retailers operate under close state oversight — and the TABC Wine and Beer Retailer's Permit (BG) Bond is how the state protects the public and holds permit holders accountable. This bond guarantees that your business will comply with all applicable Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code requirements tied to your BG permit. If you violate those terms, the bond provides a financial remedy. It's a condition of obtaining your permit, not an optional layer of protection.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are applying for a Texas TABC Wine and Beer Retailer's Permit (BG), you need this bond before your permit is issued. This permit authorizes the retail sale of wine and beer for on-premise or off-premise consumption at a fixed location in Texas. Convenience stores, grocery stores, restaurants, and specialty retailers operating under a BG classification are the typical applicants. You cannot complete your TABC licensing process without this bond in place.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to enforce compliance with the conditions of the Wine and Beer Retailer's Permit (BG) under Texas law. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) requires it to ensure that permitted businesses operate lawfully and meet their obligations to the state and the public. If a bonded retailer violates permit conditions — such as selling to minors, operating outside permitted hours, or failing to meet tax obligations — an injured party or the state can file a claim against the bond. The bond does not protect you; it protects those harmed by your non-compliance.
When is it Required?
Renewal of your Wine and Beer Retailer's Permit (BG) triggers a corresponding bond renewal obligation. This bond must be active and on file with the TABC for the full duration of your permit term. A lapse in bond coverage can jeopardize your permit and your ability to legally sell wine and beer in Texas. Plan bond renewal in advance so there is no gap between your current term and the next.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Texas requirement enforced by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. It applies to any retail location in Texas operating under a Wine and Beer Retailer's Permit (BG), regardless of city or county. The TABC is the regulatory body that receives, reviews, and enforces this bond requirement across the state.
